Should I back up the entire registry, or just one key?
| • | We recommend that if you edit the registry, you back up the entire registry. While this is the safest method, it can be more complex than backing up a single key. |
| • | Instead of backing up the entire registry, you can back up a specific key before changing it – but this has some risk. You must know exactly which key to back up. And, for Windows 2000/XP, you must be sure that none of the keys contain encrypted values. |
|
WARNING: Do not double-click the backup file that was placed on the Windows desktop except to undo the changes that you made to the registry. |
